This study examined the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and romantic relationship distress in a sample of 100 heterosexual White and Mexican American couples. Data were collected during the first and during the third year of marriage. In the overall sample, wives' own IPV victimization was associated with wives' increased distress and husbands' IPV victimization was associated with wives' decreased distress. Among Mexican Americans, wives' IPV victimization was related to husbands' increased distress, whereas among White Americans, wives' IPV victimization was related to husbands' decreased distress. These results indicate that the association between IPV victimization and relationship distress may not only differ by gender but also by ethnicity.
本研究调查了100对异性恋白人和墨西哥裔美国夫妇样本中亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)受害情况与浪漫关系困扰之间的关联。数据在婚姻的第一年和第三年收集。在总体样本中,妻子自身的IPV受害情况与妻子的困扰增加有关,而丈夫的IPV受害情况与妻子的困扰减少有关。在墨西哥裔美国人中,妻子的IPV受害情况与丈夫的困扰增加有关,而在白人美国人中,妻子的IPV受害情况与丈夫的困扰减少有关。这些结果表明,IPV受害情况与关系困扰之间的关联可能不仅因性别而异,还因种族而异。
